Taizhou International Hotel
The only outdoor pool among Taizhou's hotels
About this hotel
Taizhou International Hotel stands apart from the rest of the city's pool hotels by tagging an outdoor pool rather than an indoor one, a rarer amenity given how much of Taizhou's coastal calendar stays too cool for open-air swimming. Polished, high-rise quarters back the pool with a spa and multiple dining options, positioning the hotel toward a slower, wellness-leaning stay over a purely functional business one. Pet-friendly rooms and a business center keep it workable for a wider range of travellers, from supplier-meeting trips to warmer-season leisure stays. At roughly two hours from Taizhou Luqiao Airport, the transfer sits toward the longer end for hotels on this list, offset by an airport shuttle included in the amenity set.

- Multiple dining options
- Pet-friendly rooms
Our take
This is the pick for travellers visiting during Taizhou's warmer months who want open-air water over a chlorinated indoor pool, and the spa-and-dining combination adds a genuine wellness angle. Pet owners and business travellers both find a workable stay here too. Travellers visiting outside the warmer season should note the outdoor pool loses its main advantage then, and an indoor-pool hotel like the Marriott may suit better.
- ✓Time the visit for late spring through early autumn to actually use the outdoor pool.
- ✓Pair the pool with a spa session, the hotel positions the two together rather than separately.
- ✓Use the included airport shuttle for the roughly two-hour ride rather than a cold taxi booking.

Why guests love itEarly autumn timing made Taizhou International Hotel's outdoor pool genuinely usable, still warm enough for an evening swim after the Huangyan orange harvest had started nearby. It is the only hotel in the city with one, which made the choice simple once the season lined up. The spa filled the slower afternoons, and the multiple dining options meant not defaulting to the same restaurant each night. Visiting outside the warmer months would likely change the calculation entirely.
